Chapter 140 Chapter 139 Gaodi Xiao Daocheng

Xiao Daocheng, courtesy name Shaobo, was originally from Lanling, East China Sea (now Zaozhuang, Shandong).In the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his ancestor Xiao Zheng led his family to move south to the south of the Yangtze River, and settled in Wujin County (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) in the Jinling Mausoleum. After years of reproduction, a huge Xiao family gradually formed.It is said that the ancestor of the Xiao family was Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and Xiao Daocheng was the twenty-fourth generation grandson of Xiao He.Therefore, his father Xiao Chengzhi was regarded as Liu Song's relatives. Since Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty Liu Yu's stepmother was the Xiao family, Xiao Daocheng's father was able to be an official in Liu Song Dynasty, and he was moved repeatedly because of his military achievements.Xiao Daocheng also embarked on the bumpy road to the throne.

In 465 A.D., Emperor Song Ming of the Southern Dynasty came to the throne after the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye was murdered. A great scuffle broke out within the ruling group immediately. One side was the kings of Emperor Xiaowu headed by Liu Zixun, the king of Jin'an, and the other was headed by Emperor Ming. Wendi is the kings.Most of the prefectures and counties in Sifang raised their troops to respond to Liu Zixun, the king of Jin'an. The Ming emperor was single and weak, and the situation was critical. At this time, Xiao Daocheng was promoted step by step, and in the early years of Emperor Ming, he had become a general of the right army.After years of combat training, he not only possessed rich combat experience and commanding skills, but also became a visionary strategist.In the large-scale melee that broke out within the Song imperial family, he judged the situation and stood firmly on the side of Emperor Ming. He was awarded the general of the auxiliary country and went to crusade against the rebels.After Emperor Ming pacified the Quartet Rebellion, Xiao Daocheng and other generals loyal to Emperor Ming rose rapidly and became important officials and generals of the country.

In the third year of Taishi (467 A.D.), Xiao Daocheng served as the governor of Nanyanzhou.In the sixth year of Taishi (470 A.D.), he received an order from the imperial court asking him to return to Beijing to serve as the servant of Huangmen and the captain of Yueqi school.Xiao Daocheng knew that Emperor Ming was becoming more and more jealous of the kings and ministers recently, if he obeyed his orders and returned to Beijing, catastrophe might follow;Gou Boyu, the champion who joined the army, conspired for him, asking him to send dozens of cavalry into the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, place them as flaunts, attract the attention of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then use the border tension as an excuse to try to stay in the post.Xiao Daocheng followed Gou Boyu's suggestion, and the Northern Wei Dynasty sent hundreds of rangers to patrol along the border.Xiao Daocheng reported the news of the tight border to the imperial court, and Emperor Ming ordered him to resume his post.

Suddenly one day, Xiao Daocheng received a report: Emperor Ming sent Wu Xi to lead the army.At this time, Emperor Ming's condition worsened. In order to protect the young master, he had killed several living brothers, and other influential officials were also in danger.It must be a catastrophe for Wu Xi to lead the army!When he was anxious, he received another report: Wu Xi had arrived.He hurriedly asked: "Has Wu Xi's officers and men come too?" The answer surprised him even more: "I don't know why, only Wu Xi came to give the emperor a silver pot of wine." Just as he was wondering, Wu Xi came in and gave him liquor.Looking at the silver pot, Xiao Daocheng refused to drink it no matter what, Wu Xi hurriedly told him the emperor's intention of probing, and drank a glass of wine first.After seeing Xiao Daocheng, he felt relieved, hosted a banquet in honor of Wu Xi, and asked him to return to Beijing with good words.

Soon, Xiao Daocheng got another news: Wu Xi was killed, and the court called him back to Beijing.When his subordinates heard the news, they advised him not to go to Beijing.Xiao Daocheng looked very calm this time, and said to his subordinates: "You don't understand the truth. The Lord punishes all his younger brothers because the crown prince is immature, and it has nothing to do with other clans. I just act quickly. If we set out to return to Beijing, we will be suspected if things are delayed. It is not the luck of the elders to kill each other. Disasters are about to happen, and we need your help." After persuading his subordinates, Xiao Daocheng did not bring a soldier or a general. Hurry back to the capital.Seeing him like this, Emperor Ming dispelled his doubts about him.Therefore, until the death of Emperor Ming, Xiao Dao was safe and sound in Chengdu. After the crown prince came to the throne, he was still obliged to participate in the secret affairs.

In May of the second year of Yuanhui (AD 474), Liu Xiufan, the governor of Jiangzhou and king of Guiyang, rebelled and approached the capital.The important officials of the imperial court gathered together to discuss the matter, and everyone was frowning, and they had no way to retreat from the enemy.Only Xiao Daocheng said: "In the past, the crusades against rebels were all defeated due to delays in action. Liu Xiufan will definitely accept the lessons from the past and take advantage of my unpreparedness and go down lightly. Today's contingency technique should not be far away. If a certain army loses Therefore, it is advisable to station troops in Xinting and Baixia to resist the enemy, and stick to Miyagi, Dongfu, and Stone City to wait for the thieves to arrive. Liu Xiufan led a lone army from afar, and the military supplies were insufficient. Afterwards, if you can't fight, it will naturally collapse. I ask the soldiers to set up a new pavilion to block the front, conquer the north and defend Baixia, and lead the army to set up Xuanyang Gate as a festival for all the troops. Zhu Gui'an sits in the palace, and I will definitely break the thieves and rescue the siege." After finishing speaking, Those who sat together with Suobi had a discussion, and everyone signed "same", and Xiao Daocheng's suggestion was unanimously approved.Only Sun Qianling, a member of Zhongshushe, conspired with Liu Xiufan in private, and suggested: "It is better to send troops to guard Liangshan." Xiao Daocheng heard it, and said seriously: "The thief is approaching now, how can they get to Liangshan! Xinting is a soldier rushing , I want to serve the country with my death here. I can submissively obey you on weekdays, but I must never do so today!" After speaking, he started from his seat and said to Liu Mian: "The leader has the same contempt, and it cannot be changed!" On that day, Xiao Daocheng, General Jiapingnan, led the vanguard out of Tun Xinting, Zhang Yong Tun Baixia, Shen Huaiming guarded Stone City, Yuan Can and Zhu Yuan entered Wei Dian Province.

Xiao Daocheng led his army to Xinting and immediately repaired the city fortress. Before it was completed, Liu Xiufan's front car had arrived at Xinlinpu.Xiao Daocheng first undressed and lay down high to reassure the army, and then sent generals to lead the navy to fight the enemy.Liu Xiufan landed on a boat, sent general Ding Wenhao to attack Taicheng, and led his own army to storm Xinting.Xiao Daocheng led the crowd to resist the enemy with all their strength. The enemy's offensive became more and more fierce. Zhang Jing'er feigned surrender and killed Liu Xiufan.Liu Xiufan's army didn't know that Liu Xiufan was dead at this time, so he led Du Heimuo to attack Xinting. under the shooting hall.Xiao Daocheng heard that the shouts of killing were getting closer, so he went into battle himself. After several rounds of hand-to-hand combat, he killed the enemy and kept the city.That night, it rained heavily, and the soldiers did not eat or sleep for many days.People are tired and horses are tired.All of a sudden, the horses in the army were startled, and the city fell into chaos, with horses neighing and people running around.Xiao Daocheng was sitting holding the candle, sternly yelling at him, only then did he stabilize his position a little bit, this happened four times in one night.

Later, when Du Hei crossed the Qinhuai River at Xinting, the general of the right army, Wang Daolong, couldn't resist, and fled back to Taicheng, where he was killed by the pursuers.So there were rumors on the road that "Taicheng has fallen", the soldiers of Baixia and Shitou all dispersed, and Zhang Yong and Shen Huaiming escaped.At this time, it was rumored in the palace that the new pavilion had also fallen, and the queen mother took the hand of the young emperor Liu Yu and cried, "The world is defeated!" Chu Yuan's younger brother Chu Cheng opened the Dongfu Gate to accept the Southern Army, and Sun Qianling, a member of Zhongshushe, opened the Chengming Gate to surrender.The southern army also falsely claimed that Liu Xiufan was in Xinting, and the scholars and people were panicked. Thousands of people went to Xinting to vote for assassination.Xiao Daocheng ordered people to burn all the famous thorns, and went to Beicheng to tell the public: "Liu Xiufan and his son were killed yesterday, and the corpses are under Nangang. The next one is Xiao Pingnan, please identify them carefully! All the famous thorns have been burned, so don't worry." In order to relieve the danger of Taicheng, Xiao Daocheng sent Chen Xianda and Zhang Jinger to lead the soldiers into Weigong Province.Yuan Can generously encouraged the generals, Chen Xianda led his troops to battle, and smashed Du Heimu at Du's grandma's house, Zhang Jinger and others broke Du Heimu at Xuanyang Gate, beheaded Du Heimu and Ding Wenhao, and then conquered Dongfu.

Xiao Daocheng returned to Jiankang triumphantly with the whole army, and the common people gathered along the road to watch, and praised: "It is up to you to protect the country!" Because of his great contribution to the suppression of Liu Xiufan's rebellion, Xiao Daocheng's prestige increased greatly, and he was appointed as the leader of the Central Committee, The governor of Nanyanzhou, who stayed in Wei Jiankang, and together with Yuan Can, Chu Yuan, and Liu Bing, took turns to make decisions. At that time, he was called "Four Nobles".From then on, Xiao Daocheng gradually took control of the government as the leader of the Central Committee.

The later deposed emperor Liu Yu was vicious and cruel, and took pleasure in killing people. People inside and outside the court could not protect themselves.Xiao Daocheng was hated by him because of his great achievements and power, and he was almost killed several times, so he was deeply worried and decided to abolish the establishment.He first discussed with Yuan Can and Chu Yuan. After hearing this, Yuan Can objected: "My lord was young, and minor mistakes are easy to correct. It is not easy to abolish the establishment. Even if it succeeds, there will be no complete land in the end." But Xuan Yuan remained silent. In answer, he had already agreed with Xiao Daocheng's proposition, but kept silent only because Yuan Can objected.

At this time, those who were dissatisfied with Liu Yu turned to Xiao Daocheng one after another.Wang Jing, captain of the Yueqi school, took the initiative to find out Liu Yu's whereabouts for Xiao Daocheng, and worked tirelessly every night, wearing black clothes, lying on the side of the road to observe Liu Yu's actions.Xiao Daocheng admired his loyalty very much, and ordered him to secretly contact Liu Yu's left and right, and wait for the opportunity to act. On the evening of July 6th in the fifth year of Yuanhui (477 A.D.), the leader of the army, Wailang Huankang, and others overheard Liu Yu saying outside the gate of the mansion, "I have a place to go tonight. Let's wait here tomorrow night." Xiao Daocheng didn't realize it. He became nervous, thinking that the little emperor was going to attack him tomorrow night. The next night, Xiao Daocheng couldn't fall asleep in the mansion, and suddenly he heard someone shouting "open the door" outside the door, and the door was slammed.The mansion suddenly fell into a panic and did not dare to open the door.Just heard another shout outside the door: "I am Jingze!" Someone recognized Wang Jingze's voice and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Wang Jingze only heard that Liu Yu had been killed by the left and right, so hurry up Invite Xiao Gong to enter the palace to be the master.After hearing this, Xiao Daocheng still dared not open the door, fearing that Liu Yu had planned to deceive him.Wang Jing was in a hurry, he threw something into the wall, and the people in the house hurriedly picked it up, it turned out to be a bloody human head, after Xiao Daocheng washed it with water, he clearly saw that it was Liu Yu.So Xiao Daocheng put on his military uniform and rode straight to the palace.When he came to Chengming Gate, he called the door urgently to the insider who pretended to be the emperor returning to the palace.As soon as the door opened, everyone rushed in.Usually when Liu Yu returned to the palace, the gate guards would lower their heads and hold their breath for fear of getting into trouble, not daring to look up, so Xiao Daocheng and his party entered the palace smoothly without any doubt.The people in the hall saw Xiao Daocheng entering the hall fully armed, and they didn't know what happened, and when they heard that Liu Yu was dead, they all cheered and shouted long live! At dawn, Xiao Daocheng summoned Yuan Can, Chu Yuan, and Liu Bing to the palace to discuss important matters by order of the Empress Dowager.Xiao Daocheng first notified the three of Liu Yu's murder, and then turned to the weak and incompetent Liu Bing and asked: "You are a relative of the country, how will you deal with today's incident?" Liu Bing glanced at Xiao Daocheng, and saw him With all his beard and beard, his eyes were like lightning, he couldn't help turning his eyes to one side, and said in a whisper, "you can leave all the affairs of the minister to me. The army will punish you, and the first committee will lead the army." Xiao Daocheng asked Yuan Can to make up his mind again, and Yuan Can also Don't dare to be.Wang Jing drew out his gleaming knife, jumped and roared by the side of the bed: "Everything in the world should belong to Duke Xiao, whoever dares to say something, the knife will be stained with blood!" He took a white gauze hat and put it on Xiao Daocheng's hand. On his head, he shouted: "Whoever dares to move again today, do things while the iron is hot!" Yuan Can was just about to say something, but Wang Jing sternly reprimanded him to stop.Chu Yuan said: "It's not Xiao Gong who can't do this." He also handed over the power to Xiao Daocheng.Therefore, Xiao Daocheng made the decision, and prepared a method to drive to Dongfu to welcome Ancheng King Liu Zhun into the palace to ascend the throne. Yuan Can and Liu Bing watched helplessly as Xiao Daocheng grasped the power of Yingli in his hands, and before he had time to express his opinion, they only heard a "click", and several long knives were placed on top of their heads, their faces changed greatly in fright, and they panicked go out. On the same day, Xiao Daocheng ordered in the name of the Queen Mother to enumerate Liu Yu's crimes, and ordered Liu Zhun, king of Ancheng, to be emperor.Xiao Daocheng left Zhendong Mansion to serve as Sikong, Lushang Shushi, and Hushi General. He took care of military and state affairs with one hand, and installed cronies in the imperial court to control large and small military and political departments.Liu Bing and Yuan Can only have vacancies and are not allowed to pre-government. Shen Youzhi, governor of Jingzhou, made outstanding military exploits during the Song and Ming Dynasties, and became a member of the dominant party.He had a very good relationship with Xiao Daocheng, and Xiao Daocheng's eldest daughter married his third son as his wife, so they are in-laws.However, after Xiao Daocheng welcomed Liu Zhun as emperor and took full control of the government, Shen Youzhi began to be unconvinced, thinking that he had a higher reputation and status than Xiao Daocheng back then, and he should be in charge of the court by himself.In December of the first year of Shengming (AD 477), Shen Youzhi falsely claimed to have received the Queen Mother's warrant: "The affairs of the country are all entrusted to the public." Then he reined in his troops and sent troops to the east.He also wrote to Xiao Daocheng, accusing him of not discussing with the princes in secret, not asking the Queen Mother for instructions, but making friends with the young emperor, and personally killing him; When Xiao Daocheng learned of Shen Youzhi's rebellion, he immediately dispatched troops and generals to arrange the crusade.Then, he personally went to see Yuan Can in Stone City to conspire with Yuan Can, but Yuan Can refused to see him.It turned out that Yuan Can saw that Xiao Daocheng wanted to usurp the throne, so he wanted to get rid of Xiao Daocheng with Liu Bing and others.After Yuan Can was ready to stop, he wanted to tell Chu Yuan the plan of the incident. Everyone thought that Chu Yuan had a close relationship with Xiao Daocheng and should not tell him, but Yuan Can refused to listen.After hearing Yuan Can's plan, Chu Yuan immediately reported to Xiao Daocheng.Xiao Daocheng didn't show any panic when he heard it, it turned out that he had already heard about it.Therefore, Xiao Daocheng stepped up his deployment, sent generals to help Yuan can guard the stone city, and took Wang Jingze as the direct cabinet, and he and Bu Boxing were in charge of the guards, in fact to supervise and defend Yuan can, Bu Boxing and others. Yuan Can conspired to rectify the Empress Dowager's order, and asked the leading generals Liu Yun and Bu Boxing to lead the guards to attack and kill Xiao Daocheng in the court hall, and Huang Hui led the army to respond from Xinting; Liu Bing, Ren Houbo and others went to aid Stone City. After the incident, Liu Bing was anxious all day long, and was busy packing his luggage before the appointed time.Before setting off, he took a sip of soup, but because his hands were trembling, he spilled it all on his chest.Before it was dark, he drove a large group of his family, young and old, wives and concubines on the road in a car, followed by hundreds of dancers.Seeing Liu Bing coming ahead of time, Yuan Can was shocked: "Why did you come in such a hurry? Today will definitely be defeated!" Liu Bing was still in shock, and said out of breath, "If you want to see your father, why should you die!" Xiao Daocheng got the news very quickly, and immediately sent someone secretly to tell Wang Jingze.Wang Jing preemptively killed Liu Yun and Bu Boxing.Xiao Daocheng's army and Yuan Can's army fought fiercely in Stone City, and quickly captured the city.Liu Bing and his two sons fled and were beheaded on the road.Yuan Can went down to the city, lit up candles to illuminate himself, and said to his son Yuan Zui, "I knew that one tree could not stop the collapse of the building, but it should be so in name." Protecting his father, Yuan Can hugged his son and said proudly: "I am a loyal minister, and you are a filial son!" After speaking, both father and son were killed.When the soldiers saw this, they all shed tears. In order to fully deal with Shen Youzhi's pressure on the western front, Xiao Daocheng moved to the Yuewu Hall, took Huang Hui as General Pingxi, sent heavy troops to the west to fight, and sent his confidants to go with him.Huang Huiping was at odds with Wang Yixing, who had conspired against Xiao Daocheng. He was afraid that Wang Yixing would report to Xiao Daocheng that he had participated in the rebellion, so he executed Wang Yixing on the pretext.All the generals said that Huang Hui would definitely fight back with a heavy army in his hand, but Xiao Daocheng was very confident, and said to the generals: "You and others are suspicious, Huang Hui will not make great achievements, don't worry!" Shen Youzhi led the army from Jiangling, and fought fiercely with Liu Shilong in the city of Ying. After more than 30 days, the soldiers were eccentric, and the number of escapees increased day by day, so they had to abandon the city of Ying and lead the crowd across the river. When they reached Lushan, the army broke up. , the generals rushed to escape.When he rushed back to Jiangling with the remnants of his troops, he knew that Jiangling had been captured by Zhang Jinger, the governor of Yongzhou, and the soldiers scattered in all directions.Shen Youzhi was desperate and hanged himself in the oak forest with his son Shen Wenhe. After suppressing Shen Youzhi's rebellion, Xiao Daocheng felt that Huang Hui was always unreliable, so he deliberately waited for an opportunity to kill him.But Huang Hui has thousands of people under his command, if someone is sent to arrest him, it may cause chaos.Therefore, in April of the second year of Shengming (AD 478), Huang was called back to Dongfu.After Huang returned, Xiao Daocheng didn't see him, so he sent Huan Kang to bring dozens of people in, enumerate his crimes and kill him. After Huang Hui was killed, Xiao Daocheng's main opponents were all wiped out.From then on, he stepped up his preparations to become emperor in the Song Dynasty. If Xiao Daocheng wanted to become emperor in the Song Dynasty, he needed to recruit a large number of insightful people and Shixian counselor Daye who had great influence in society.For example, Wang Jian, the son of Wang Sengchuo, is only in his 20s, but he is eager to learn and learn a lot, has a bright face, and has little ambition to be a prime minister, so he is highly respected by the times.Xiao Daocheng regarded him as Taiwei's right chief history, and appointed him to handle all matters in the Taiwei's mansion, and regarded him as an important assistant and think tank.For example, Wang Sengqian and Wang Yanzhi, who were born in famous families, were also used by the Xiao family.In addition to the Langya Wang family, Xiao Daocheng also attached great importance to another family, the Xie family, which had a decisive influence in the south of the Yangtze River.After Xie Zhuang's son Xie Qu became a famous family, he had the same name in the current world and had great influence in society, so Xiao Daocheng wanted to get his support to proclaim himself emperor.Helplessly, no matter how Xie Tiao inspired and induced him, he just kept silent. Xiao Daocheng also used all means to win Chu Yuan's support.Once, he visited Chu's mansion, and after a lot of gossip, he said: "I had a dream that I should be an official." Chu Yuan replied: "Xiao Gong just added Taiwei and Dudu, and I am afraid that he will not be transferred for a year or two. , besides, the auspicious dream may not come sooner or later." Seeing Chu Yuan's refusal, Xiao Daocheng had no choice but to return.Later, Xiao's relatives put pressure on Gao Mozhun Chu's temper, and Chu dared not object. In March of the third year of Shengming (AD 479), Xiao Daocheng entered the state again, was granted the title of Duke of Qi, and added Jiuxi.The etiquette and etiquette of ennobling him with the state of Qi were all imitated by the imperial court. In April, Xiao Dao became King of Qi.Soon, Liu Zhun ordered Zen to be located in Qi.Sikong and Taibao Chu Yuan, etc. Feng Xishou, led a hundred officials to the Qi Palace to persuade them to enter, Xiao Daocheng declined.Hundreds of officials pleaded again and again, and some people entered the fate and said that "six" is the position of Kang, Zen in Wei in 196 years of Eastern Han Dynasty, Zen in Jin Dynasty in 46 years of Wei calendar, Zen in Song Dynasty in 156 years of Jin calendar, Song from the first year of Yongchu to Shengming Three years, a total of 60 years.The past dynasties have used the six endings and six receivings, which is the destiny.Therefore, when they asked Xiao Daocheng to follow the sky, Fu Rui was called emperor.Under the repeated entreaties of the ministers, Xiao Daocheng agreed, and held an enthronement ceremony in the southern suburbs on a selected day. After returning to the palace, he announced an amnesty and changed the Yuan to "Jian Yuan".The Qi Dynasty was formally established. Xiao Daocheng ascended to the throne with the support of his officials, quite full of ambition.Suddenly, one day, he received a form. It turned out that Pei Qiye listed his crimes in abolishing the Song Dynasty and proclaiming himself emperor in the form.In order to establish the prestige of the new dynasty, Xiao Daocheng ordered Pei Qiye to be killed immediately.However, Xiao Daocheng did not just kill indiscriminately.Prince Xiao Yu sued Xie Tuo for despising the new dynasty, whether to behead him for public display.Xiao Daocheng was very clear about Xie's guilt.But he knew that the new dynasty was established at the beginning, the foundation was unstable, and there were still many people who secretly opposed the Zen Dynasty.Therefore, he said to the prince: "If you kill Xie Tuo, it will make him famous, so it should be ignored." After a while, he found an excuse and dismissed Xie Tuo from office. In order to stabilize the foundation, Xiao Daocheng opened up his voice and asked the ministers to discuss politics.Some of the ministers suggested abolishing the harsh government and fine-grained system in the Song Dynasty, some suggested stopping the crusade against Jiaozhou, and some suggested reducing the exorbitant taxes in the Song Dynasty, restricting the nobles and rich people from sealing Lueshan Lake to invade the common people... Hundreds of officials enthusiastically spoke, and Xiao Daocheng agreed Rewarded, and issued an edict: "The kings of the second palace are not allowed to set up mansions, and seal Lueshan Lake." He also ordered the reduction of rent and rent debts of the common people and the reduction of city taxes. In response to the style of extravagance and waste in Song Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng especially emphasized frugality.Once, he found that there was a jade guide (a kind of jade product decorated on the head) in the main clothes (royal clothes) storehouse. He was very upset and ordered someone to smash it.He also ordered people to search for any foreign objects, and destroy all those that he thought could promote luxury and luxury.He often said: "Let me rule the world for 10 years, and the price of gold and earth should be the same." Xiao Daocheng had 19 sons, 6 of whom died young, and the remaining 13 sons, some were brave, some had outstanding strategies, and some older ones made contributions to his entrepreneurship. The prince Xiao Yu thought that he had created a great cause with his father, so he became proud, and he was arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily determined about the affairs of the court, no matter how big or small.Zhang Jing, his confidant, is really extravagant and lawless, and many things in the East Palace are not qualified for the prince.The courtiers dared not report Xiao Daocheng, Xun Boyu couldn't bear Xiao Daocheng being kept in the dark, took the opportunity of the prince leaving Jiankang to visit Yong'an and Tai'an Tombs in Wujin, and secretly reported the prince's behavior to Xiao Daocheng. After hearing Xun Boyu's report, Xiao Daocheng was furious, and immediately ordered someone to inspect the East Palace.The crown prince, Xiao Yu, was returning after paying homage to the mausoleum, and suddenly saw Yuzhang Wang Xiaoyi coming to meet him on a fast horse, and asked him to go to Beijing quickly and tell him about his father's anger.Xiao Yu didn't dare to stay, so he rushed back to Jiankang that night.The next day, Xiao Daocheng sent his two grandsons, Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang, to reprimand the prince Xiao Yu and present all kinds of evidence of Zhang Jingzhen's crimes, asking him to kill Zhang Jingzhen with the order of the prince. The disease is not facing. After more than a month, Xiao Daocheng's anger still persisted, and he planned in his mind to abolish the crown prince and establish a second son, Xiao Yi.One day, he was resting in the Palace of the Sun sullenly, when he suddenly saw Wang Jingze barging in alone, knelt down and kowtowed to him and said: "The world is getting worse for officials, the prince will be blamed for nothing, and people are afraid. May the officials go to the East Palace." Explain clearly." Hearing Wang Jingze's words, Xiao Daocheng's heart moved, but he still kept his face and didn't say a word.Wang Jing saw that he didn't answer, so he didn't care about it. He loudly asked the emperor to dress up and go to the East Palace. He also ordered the eunuch to prepare wine and food, and wait for Che Yu.Xiao Daocheng lay there, not intending to move at all.Wang Jing took the clothes, put them on him by force, and dragged him into the car.In this way, he was forced to be sent to the East Palace.After seeing the prince first, he summoned all the kings to Xuanyuan and held a banquet.At the banquet, Changsha Wang Xiaohuang held the canopy, Linchuan Wang Xiaoying held the pheasant tail fan, the second grandson Xiao Ziliang held the wine cup, the eldest grandson Xiao Changmao served the wine, Prince Xiao Yu, Yuzhang Wang Xiaoyi and Wang Jing held the wine and food. Serving Xiao Daocheng like stars holding the moon made his heart warm.He saw that his sons and grandchildren sincerely hoped that he would mediate the conflict with the prince, and the second son Xiao Yi had no intention of replacing the prince, so what is more precious than the harmony of the royal family?In this way, Xiao Daocheng's anger gradually dissipated, and the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince was thrown out of the blue.This time the banquet continued until dark, and everyone was drunk before giving up. At the beginning of Xiao Daocheng's ascension to the throne, he once asked the scholar Liu Yuming about politics, and he answered: "The politics lies in the "Book of Filial Piety". The reason for the death of the Song family and the success of your majesty is all because of this. If your majesty can avoid the mistakes of the past, If you are lenient, you can be safe; if you follow the same path, even if you are safe, you will be in danger." Xiao Daocheng was deeply touched when he heard this, and sighed: "The words of Confucianism can be the treasure of all ages!" In the fourth year of Jianyuan (482 A.D.), when Xiao Daocheng was seriously ill, he specially called the prince to him and told him: "If the Song family does not have a brotherly relationship, how can other families take advantage of its decline and replace it! You are deeply admonished!" Of." In March, the all-powerful founding emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty passed away at the age of 56 and reigned for 4 years.The temple name is "Taizu", and the posthumous title is "Emperor Gao." He was buried in Tai'an Mausoleum in Wujin County.
